I'd like to see a bit more colour going on. This sepia tone thing looks a little awkward for my liking. Lighting is okay but move it over to the left a tad so a bit more of the renee is in shadow; that'll create a better contrast. The out of focus text works pretty well but put it over the render a bit more to enhance the depth. Little sparkly bits work pretty well here, gives it a dreamlike feel.

Very helpful criticism, I can see what you mean. That was sort of what I was going for with the sparkles, a surreal feel. Thanks!

Agree with everything Beketov said. Another thing I'd add would be to maybe decrease the spacing between letter on the 'doughty'. As of now it seems a bit too articulated. Good render placement. With the colouring, I think if you wanted to keep the sepia, I'd add some splashes of blue. Take a soft round brush on 70-100 opacity, and set the colour to a medium blue. Click in a few places, then set the layer to Color Dodge. Adjust the opacity of the layer and erase anything that doesn't really work. Could really add a bit of a dynamic to the sig.

Never would've thought of that, thanks Jackim.
